EtymologyNamed after the Sierra de Fiambalá (Fiambalá mountains). The toponym Fiambalá comes from an ancient language (Cacán) of natives who lived in northwestern Argentina before Quechua (Inca) and Spanish became dominant. “Cacán” voice: fiambalao (fiambal = wind; ao = house, place), meaning “house of winds”.
